Oh my they’re so smart !!!

You have to laugh at them and it was really funny when she got chased 🙂 luckely Lualani is big and happy now. The boy should be too

Here are a few more elephants playing soccer/football in China:
Elephants playing soccer in China!
the caretakers sleep next to the elephant orphans……….op there goes my heart
I wonder how much these elephants were tortured before getting the hang of it
Bad ass. That wasn't a game. that's what called expulsion, cuz pigz are profane.
you guys are like; lie and sincerity and BBC always reflect the facts
The sound of a baby elephant crying is heartbreaking.
On a lighter note, their triumphant (pun unintended) trumpets are sweet. Those guys must be in top physical condition to run around with the elephants like that. Little elephants are fast!
Chasing the wort hogs reminds me of human children chasing seagulls.
they are so cute to watch!! love these animals

@unnst I want to work there too!!! I am fortunate enough to Donate money the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Foundation, to Foster TWO baby Elephants! Dida and Tano. By Helping these elephants and caring for them one by one, the DSWT, brings AWARENESS to the world. A BBC Documentary is a small part of that awareness. The foundation NEEDS Money… that's elementary. How else can change happen, one day… it's all about Conservation, dedication, education and Awareness….change will follow…
@pamphyl perhaps World VIsion is evil, but I assure you The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is NOT!!! Dame Sheldrick and her team of Elephant lovers are dedicated to helping Elephants and educating people on conservation…
check it out.
not everything in life is so evil….. we MUST support the GOOD ones and EXPOSE the BAD!
check it out….

@charlieisgone no, not at all. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has a well organized method of helping the babies grow up and they are eventually put back into the Reserve that is State Protected from Poaching but still int eh Wild. MANY of the Elephants from the DSWT have been returned to the wild and are flourishing as well as having babies! This documentary was made to show what AMAZING work the foundation does and it needs supporters funds to keep it running.
@StormBringer44. hi, I understand what you mean. From this video it seems that the elephants might be exploited, as we watch them play, rednering the real issues that are causing them to be orphaned are not being addressed, BUT, I must ask you to research the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust from where this video is taken. It is an AMAZINGLY dedicated & Proactive Sanctuary that Does AMAZING things for the LIVES of MANY Elephants. Play & LOVE are a part of Elephant recovery & good health.
aww what happened to Jippy? 🙁
SUPERB !
there is corruption everywhere, it can't be denied, but you can't assume that that is what goes on everywhere. I work in the field as well, and I know about the corruption you speak of but there are also many people out there trying to make a difference. In the case of this documentary, if you have seen the whole thing you know that its goal was to bring attention to the plight of poaching and the orphaned elephants.
